Given the transformative capabilities of art, we wondered how the arts could help revitalize a city, and, perhaps, revive an entire region. Can the same then be true for the “souls” of our cities, or even the collective soul of a region? The Visual Arts, Craft, and Design (VACD) sector, i encompassing a wide spectrum of creative endeavors, has an impact on all of us in often surprising ways. When we speak generally of the “visual arts,” names like Rembrandt, Cassatt, Warhol, and Bearden may come to mind; however, the Cleveland VACD sector, including all of Cuyahoga County for the purposes of this study, Then the city of Florence began construction of its now- reaches well beyond conventional definitions of art to famous Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (more commonly encompass a variety of consumer products such as known as the Duomo) and in 1419 sought an architect to jewelry, furniture, and even homes. build a dome to cover the massive, 42-meter-wide space In the past, the three great centers of the Renaissance— above the church’s chancel. Such a vast space had not been Rome, Florence, and Venice—provided great examples capped with a dome since the Pantheon’s construction, in of energizing industrial innovation “from [creating] the ancient times. To overcome this extraordinary architectural world’s largest masonry dome to linear perspective, challenge, Brunelleschi, who won the commission, developed a modern-day portrait painting, technical breakthroughs number of engineering techniques and construction practices. in glassblowing and bronze casting, the italic type of the . His masterpiece defied precedent on innumerable levels: Aldine Press, sfumato and chiaroscuro, and the designs it was the first octagonal dome in history, the first dome in Leonardo’s sketchbooks.” ii The creative energy of to be built without a wooden supporting frame, the largest the Renaissance promoted urbanization and created a dome in existence at the time, and is still the largest masonry community of painters, craftsmen, and sculptors intensely dome in the world. By drawing on the past and innovating interacting in dense cities with peers, learning from each beyond it, Brunelleschi was able to achieve what many had other, exchanging ideas and techniques. The growing deemed impossible. (2010, p.4) prominence of artists in this time period “allowed for As this example demonstrates, the arts provide both creative interpretation and stylistic flexibility” of artists’ aesthetic and economic benefits to individuals and work, leading to more innovative ideas funded by negotiated cities alike. Likewise, much current research reveals contracts.iii Thus, the Renaissance provides a blueprint how existing artistic and cultural production has for utilizing the arts to foster cutting-edge engineering direct economic benefits for regional economies advancements in an urban environment. Bernard Ferrari by attracting investments, generating tax revenues, and Jessica Goethals describe the positive metropolitan encouraging in-migration of workers, and energizing effects of this collaboration: tourism and consumer purchases. iv Furthermore, economic development intermediaries, public policy makers, and the general public increasingly recognize the impact creative ideas and entrepreneurial workforce can have on economic performance. vn th 5 In this study, the economic impact’s full breadth is considered through statistical analyses of data and interviews and by analyzing a wide spectrum of economic sectors and focus groups, we demonstrated how the economic effect occupations beyond those commonly associated with of the VACD sector expands beyond direct economic artists. The authors believe that artistic creativity enhances benefits of the artists. many areas of the regional economy, including design, This study illustrates the extensive economic impact marketing, packaging, and presentation of products the Cleveland visual art sector has on the economy of and services in various sectors. This hypothesis is consistent Cuyahoga County. The report’s case studies also uncover with an approach used by Ann Markusen in her assessment the Cleveland VACD sector’s economic contributions of artistic dividends. vi According to Markusen, the artistic to industries outside of the VACD, emphasizing the dividend refers to a concentration of artists in a particular larger potential the visual arts industries have for area that leads to a widespread impact over a broad regional economies. range of industries in a regional economy. We did not replicate Markusen’s study in this research; instead, “Factory Work Series” by Stephanie Craig. This hand built ceramic sculpture matches delicate figurines with eroded industrial imagery. The Factory Work Series comments on traditional and contemporary ideologies and cultural habits regarding labor, effort and productivity, as well as art, production, design, craftsmanship, and artistic intention vi Ann Markusen and Greg Schrock’s study use this concept in their investigation of urban artistic specialization and economic development implications, in Urban Studies, Volume 43, No. 10: 1661-1686, 2006. “Artistic dividends” are also discussed in earlier publications by Ann Markusen and co-authors. 66 ARTS AS A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE The VACD sector, along with other arts and culture disciplines, can provide a region with a “sticky,” or long-lasting, regional competitive advantage in the form of an economic base industry— one that is capable of creating local economic benefits by exporting its products beyond the regional boundaries. As in the Renaissance, new knowledge is created when artists look at the world with their unique perspective to spark conversations on previously unseen possibilities. Inventions can then occur when the ideas are conceptualized into a novel product—a real-time digital visual input, 3-D printing, or a material that precisely controls the flow of light and color through structure. Innovation occurs when the invention is applied in practice: an Internet conferencing diverse, and primed for the productive application of based on a real-time visual input, manufacturing car parts creative ideas and innovative techniques.

  • Visual Arts 1
    Visual Arts 1 Visual Arts Department Website: http://dova.uchicago.edu Program of Study The Department of Visual Arts (DoVA) is concerned with art making as a vehicle for exploring creativity, expression, perception, and the constructed world. Whether students take courses listed under ARTV to meet a general education requirement or as part of a major in visual arts, the goal is that they will develop communicative, analytical, and expressive skills through the process of artistic production. The following three courses meet the general education requirement in the arts: ARTV 10100 Visual Language: On Images, ARTV 10200 Visual Language: On Objects, and ARTV 10300 Visual Language: On Time and Space. Most advanced courses require one of these as a prerequisite. (See individual course listings for specific prerequisites.) Range of Course Offerings The following courses introduce visual communication through the manipulation of various traditional and nonart materials, engaging principles of visual language while stressing the relationship between form and meaning. Readings and visits to local museums and galleries are required. ARTV 10100 Visual Language: On Images 100 ARTV 10200 Visual Language: On Objects 100 ARTV 10300 Visual Language: On Time and Space 100 ARTV courses numbered 21000 to 29700 include media specific courses that teach technical skills and provide a conceptual framework for working in these media (e.g., painting, photography, sculpture, video). Also included are more advanced studio courses designed to investigate the vast array of objects, spaces, and ideas embedded in the contemporary artistic landscape. ARTV courses numbered 20000 to 20999 are not studio- based and may not be counted toward studio requirements for the major or minor.

    WRITING THE LOVE OF BOYS: REPRESENTATIONS OF MALE-MALE DESIRE IN THE LITERATURE OF MURAYAMA KAITA AND EDOGAWA RANPO DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey M. Angles, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor William J. Tyler, Adviser Professor Richard Torrance ______________________________ Professor Naomi Fukumori Adviser Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures Copyright by Jeffrey Angles 2004 ABSTRACT During the twenty-five years between the beginning of the Taishō period in 1912 and the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, the spread of medical psychology and sexological discourse helped contribute to the development of new ideas about masculinity and gender in Japan. Popular literature represented one forum in which people explored, promoted, and qualified these new ideas. The manifestations of male-male desire that one finds in the literature of the period, however, do not just passively reflect changes in contemporary ideology. Literary developments also helped shape the idioms that writers used to describe the subject. This dissertation examines the representations of male-male desire in the bestselling works of two authors active during this window of change: the poet, writer, and painter Murayama Kaita (1896-1919) and the mystery author Edogawa Ranpo (1894-1965). Through critical analysis and original translations of their works, this dissertation shows that their depictions of desire between men were shaped not only by changing ideas about gender relations but also the artistic movements and genres with which both authors were associated.
